Never trust Kristol. He is the consummate Beltway Insider.
Furthermore, I think he uses his press pass as an excuse to slither around the halls of Congress and stir up trouble, carrying tales and “facilitating deals.”
Agreed, he’s a self serving putz, ready to pounce on our side in a heartbeat if it pays him a few more bucks.
Kristol even talks as if he’s speaking out of one or both sides of his mouth.
